Patio Installation Services

Bespoke Patios for Homes and Businesses

A well-built patio adds value, usability, and aesthetic appeal to any property. At United Civils, we install patios for private homes, care homes, pubs, schools, hospitality venues, and shared public spaces — always tailored to the purpose and setting.

We work with a wide range of paving materials, including:

• Indian sandstone and limestone

• Concrete flags and slabs

• Porcelain and ceramic outdoor tiles

• Block paving (standard and permeable)

• Natural stone and reclaimed materials

All patios are built with the correct sub-base, levels, and jointing techniques to ensure they stay stable, safe, and attractive for years to come.

Quality Sub-Base and Ground Preparation

Long-lasting patios begin with proper ground preparation. We excavate to appropriate depths, assess drainage needs, and install compacted sub-base materials such as MOT Type 1 or Type 3. This prevents movement, puddling, or cracking over time.

Our patio groundwork process includes:

• Reduced level dig to required depth

• Membrane installation for weed prevention

• Sub-base placement and compaction

• Cement or mortar bed depending on slab type

• Correct falls to direct water away from buildings

• Jointing with resin, mortar, or sand-based systems

Each project is completed to client and manufacturer specifications, ensuring longevity and appearance are maintained.

Drainage and Finishing Touches

We integrate drainage solutions into every patio project where required. Depending on site conditions and planning requirements, this may include:

• Linear channels (ACO or stainless steel)

• Soakaways or SUDS-compatible base layers

• Falls to adjacent lawn or gravel drainage edge

• Permeable paving systems

In addition to the patio surface itself, we offer:

• Steps and raised sections

• Retaining walls and edgings

• Border features and decorative elements

• Foundations for pergolas, outdoor kitchens, or furniture

Professional Teams and Clean Workmanship

All patio installations are delivered by experienced, CSCS-qualified operatives who understand the importance of clean working practices, tidy finishes, and attention to detail. Whether on a private drive or a shared commercial site, we maintain site safety, daily clean-up, and clear communication throughout the project.

We’ve installed patios for:

• New build homes and extensions

No matter the setting, we bring the same quality standards, reliable delivery, and long-lasting results to every job.
